When I took the car apart for resto the original paint was still intact and perfect on the cowl area behind the fenders, I had it scanned with a paint formula high tech thingy from my paint supplier, providing a perfect match,(I did add a bit more ultrafine flake into it). I painted it in DuPont Chromabase and sprayed 4 coats of clear over the base color, so it does have a huge shine to it.
